Learning Domain Adaptation with Model Calibration for Surgical Report Generation in Robotic Surgery [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Generating a surgical report in robot-assisted surgery, in the form of natural language expression of surgical scene understanding, can play a significant role in document entry tasks, surgical training, and post-operative analysis. Despite the state-of-the-art accuracy of the deep learning algorithm, the deployment performance often drops when applied

Knowledge transfer for surgical activity prediction [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Lack of training data hinders automatic recognition and prediction of surgical activities necessary for situation-aware operating rooms. We propose using knowledge transfer to compensate for data deficit and improve prediction. We used two approaches to extract and transfer surgical process knowledge.
